| Windows is a Legacy Operating System | 2018/10/21 3:12 PM |
People who know me and talk with me, know I've been making this claim for years. That means that this post has been years in the making. That is true both in terms of the argument I'm about to make and in the actions Microsoft has taken to create the si
